3. _____________ Lior brought two-thirds of his candy bar to school to share with two friends.
Celine took one-fourth of the shared piece and Elliot took half of what was left.
The final portion of that piece was split equally among Lior, Celine and Elliot.
What fraction of Lior’s original candy bar did Celine get? Express your answer
as a common fraction.
4. _____________
units2 When a triangle with vertices at (2, 0), (10, 2) and (6, 6) is rotated 360 degrees
about the point (0, −3), the sides and vertices of the triangle sweep out a region
in the shape of an annulus (ring). What is the area of the annulus? Express your
answer in terms of π.
5. _____________ On Monday, Crystal drives from San Antonio to Dallas at a constant speed.
On her return trip on Tuesday, she initially drives 10% faster than her Monday
speed. However, during the last part of her trip, she runs into traffic and has to
drive 30% slower than her Monday speed. As a result, her Tuesday trip takes
exactly as long as her Monday trip. What fraction of the distance of her
Dallas Tuesday trip does she travel at the faster speed? Express your answer
as a common fraction.

6. _____________ In the 6-by-6 grid shown, each square contains a
different positive integer. Hiroshi placed coins on some 3 1 2 3 4 5 6
squares in the grid. No square had more than one coin, 4 7 8 9 10 11 12
and the total number of coins in each row and in each 3 13 14 15 16 17 18
column is indicated by the row and column labels in
bold. What is the sum of the numbers in the squares 2 19 20 21 22 23 24
on which Hiroshi placed a coin? 4 25 26 27 28 29 30

7. _____________ Shi Yin chooses four numbers at random, without replacement, from the set of
integers from 1 to 10, inclusive. What is the probability that the product of these
four numbers has units digit 0? Express your answer as a common fraction.
8. _____________ Two congruent circles are inscribed in a 12 × 18 rectangle such that each circle
is tangent to three of the four edges of the rectangle as shown. What is the
probability that a randomly chosen point in the rectangle is in the shaded area?
Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.
9. _____________
ways Jane has six different hamsters for which she has two cages, one red
and one blue. She wants to put three hamsters in the red cage and
three in the blue cage, but two of the hamsters, Felix and Oscar,
do not get along and cannot be in the same cage. In how many different
ways can she choose which three hamsters to put in the red cage?
10. _____________ Nala draws triangle ABC. She randomly chooses a real number a between
PB
0 and 1. She then picks point P on AB such that = a. Point Q is chosen on
PA
AC such that the area of triangle APQ is half the area of triangle ABC. What is
QC 1
